we had real-time tempo control in the very earliest pre-sonar cakewalk over 30yrs ago - what came over the software developers?

yeah, but that's when it was midi-only.   
It's easy when it's just midi data.   I had Cakewalk for DOS when i was 14.  must have been 1989 or 1990.
Audio is another matter.
Still, this is the area where sonar needs to catch up.   
I am otherwise a fanboi and successful daily user.
 

but they didn't keep the real-time tempo control for MIDI alone... back to the stone age
 
besides, other softwares can change audio tempo & pitch
 
i use sonar because i need lyrics prompting for live performance
 
ps. i presently need to type R 3 times quickly for an audio recording to take
(i had to work that out myself: support could not help)

That's 3 questions now and all are pretty basic. Do the tutorials.

how will the tutorials help?   it cannot be done... it's official from support
 
and let's stick to the subject, instead of throwing around sweeping general invectives...

Well sir, one of the problems is you don't seem to want to accept what is offered.
 
When did you start using CW? What version do you have?
 
What are your system specs?
 
Have you started a project?  It is very hard to deal with such an open question with no specifics to go on as to what the heck is that you want.
 
And the question in the OP is, "what came over the software developers?". That is a question that was asked with the intention of not being answered at all, or by those who agree with your stance. In other words, rhetoric.

please read more carefully: "it cannot be done... it's official from support"
 
my cakewalk pro audio did it with MIDI, no sonar ever could...nothing to do with specs, or version...
 
i was advised by support, to post these issues, because they said the developers pay more attention to the posts, than they do to support reports...

That wasn't a/your question....Your question was, what came over the developers.?

reasonable question, since this ESSENTIAL feature was there in pre-sonar cakewalk...
 
still curious for an answer

This has been the subject of several Feature Requests. Here's one- there's a post with some links to others. There's also a separate series of Feature Requests for Scaling Tempo.
